650M is quite weak. (Much weaker than desktop 650 i suppose.) Do you have last nvidia drivers installed?
Yes itās weak, but good enough so that I can play games like Battlefield 4 on medium settings and 1080p with 50fps.
I know this game is demanding, and I donāt mind playing it on low or medium settings, but even on really low resolutions I get very poor fps.
I have the latest driver installed.
Hey guys, Iāve just been running some performance tests on my rig, and wanted to share the details. So hereās my setup:
Asus X99 Deluxe LGA2011 MB
Intel i7-5930 Haswell-E 3.5GHz
Corsair H60 Hydro CPU Cooler
G.Skill 32GB Kit DDR4 Ripjaws C15 2400MHz
eVGA GeForce GTX970 SSC ACX Cooler 4GB GDDR5
Samsung 28" UHD 4K 1ms Monitor
Running Win 8.1ā¦
Sheās only a few weeks old 
Anyways, hereās a quick run down of my results >
First Test : 1920 x 1080 - Very High
GPU Load - 42%
GPU Temp - 67 C
GPU Core Clock - 1404.8 MHz
GPU Memory Clock - 1752.8 MHz
Mem Used - 2515 MB
Mem Controller Load - 24%
Power Consumption - 78.2%
FPS - 29.8 - 30.0
Second Test : 2650 x 1440 - Very High (This right here was the sweet spot for me))
GPU Load - 75%
GPU Temp - 69 C
GPU Core Clock - 1353.4 MHz
GPU Memory Clock - 1752.8 MHz
Mem Used - 2705 MB
Mem Controller Load - 44%
Power Consumption - 86.7%
FPS - 29.8 - 30.0
Third Test : 3840 x 2160 - Very High
GPU Load - 99%
GPU Temp - 70 C
GPU Core Clock - 1315.5 MHz
GPU Memory Clock - 1752.8 MHz
Mem Used - 3217 MB
Mem Controller Load - 65%
Power Consumption - 95.3%
FPS - 18.8 - 19.0
It gave me a real steady 30 frames at both 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440. I wasnāt able to get above that though, even at some of the lower detail levels. So it definitely feels quite resource intensive at this stage. But given what we know about CryEngine, thatās not a great surprise.
Motion blur was intenseā¦ especially at the 3840 x 2160 res. The game still ran, but I was definitely thrashing the card as you can see from the above third test results. Game play wasnāt really sustainable above say 10 minutes at fully maxed out settings; the motion blur and jitter became pretty much unbearable. My head still hurts just thinking about it 
Anyways, obviously weāve got a long way to go. But first impressions are really positive. Some of the textures look absolutely stunning!! I found myself staring at the mud puddle in the middle of the town for ages 
Great job
Hmmm. Iāve just been doing the Print Screen button for mine. Will test this out.
I deactivated the overlay but Iām still not seeing anything, which likely means Iām doing something wrong or missing a step.
Ahh, I did at least find the console commands post made here, so thatās a start.
Howās that even possible? My 2 year old 680ā¬ PC is almost getting the same framerate.
Strangeā¦ Could you try looking straight up in the sky and see if you get more? I hit solid 60 when I do that.
Also, how do you measure? Shadowplay, Fraps, etc?
Sounds like itās cappedā¦
Edit: also I think your gpu is clocking down at 70Ā°C, Iād adjust fan speeds (to 100% @65Ā°C) and set the limit up to 80Ā°C, however thatās just from my experience (use with caution)

Has anyone managed to enable SLI for the game, like with nVidia Inspector?
You are locked to 30 fps somehow because GPU usage is not 100% in 1080p and 1440p.
Thatās not how it works ^^
Pretty sure it is, in this case.
Perhaps you are using DVI/HDMI that only supports 4k@30hz or something.
HDMI 1.4 is up to 4k@30Hz, you need DisplayPort cable to get 60hz,can you check if that is the case?

How is that related to not utilizing the gpu at 100%?
But anyways, I agree, itās definitely not the gpu or the game in this case.
It will Vsync to 30fps if you use 30hz
Will Vsync to 60fps if you use 60hz
THe lower the frames rendered by the GPU the lower its usage.
Try to disable Vsync from the game, open the console and type: r_vsync 0
Console key is: the key lef to the number 1

Yea I know how V-Sync works, indeed that would also explain why itās locked to 30. But the reason is not the low gpu utilization, thatās a result of it being locked, thatās what I was saying.

It runs on my pc but I need a better GPU to really enjoy it.
I can turn it to high but then it doesnt run smooth at all. After a while the performance also gets worse I noticed
Medium or Low is fine. But I only get about 10 to 20 FPS
Resolution: 1920x1080
CPU: i5 3470 @ 3,2GHz
GPU: Radeon HD 7770
RAM: 8GB
Win7 64Bit
Is there a key to show FPS or do I have to install another program for it?
If I need to, what would you recommend?
And how can I turn off Motion Blur? Could WH post a list of console commands? Thanks!
Iād recommend Nvidia cards, had AMD cards all my life but it seems for gaming you get much more bang for your bucks so I switched and never regret it.
Iām using shadowplay for fps counter, but you could also download fraps for displaying it if AMD doesnāt have such features (a lot of people seem to use fraps for that).
r_motionblur 0 turns it off, 2 to turn it on again. There is another thread for commands, but Iām to lazy to search right now, sorry

Thanks for the pro tips guys. My native display at the UHD 4K res is maxed at 30Hz, as you say itās currently HDMI.
But something I should have probably mentioned in my previous post is that this was an out-of-the-box baseline test. Iāve made no graphical adjustments, or enhancements as of yet.
I thought itād be good to baseline it, then see how far I can push the envelope after tweaking things around.
Youāve just given me my first port of call though, which will be to drop the res back down to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. And then re-run the same tests.(No DVI in 
)
*I really wanted some 4K action as well 
sigh
Iād also like to play around with some of the console commands as well. But good starting points.
So thanks @Frikencio and @Dr3adN0ughT
EDIT: Iāve been using a combination of GPU-Z, MSI AfterBurner, and RevaTuner SS for polling the above data.
Cheers
